To open the web pages, you require a browser and the URL and
your login information for document security. The URL for users
is different from the URL for administrators.

Because
document security references your organization’s existing directories
for user information, your document security login information may
be the same information that you use to log in to your network and
other applications. See your system administrator or administrator
for your account information.

To log in
as an administrator, you need to have the administrator role assigned
to you. You can use the default super administrator account that
is created during the installation process.

Log in to the web pages

To log in to the web pages using a browser, you need the
document security URL and an account. The URL for users is different
from the URL for administrators. Administrators can also log in
to the user pages to create policies.

If you have access to more than one installation of document
security, you need the URL for the instance of document security
you want to access. See your administrator if you do not have this
information. The default URL for the user pages is http://[host]:[port]/edc.
The port number may not be required in some cases. Ask your administrator
for details.

The default
URL for administrators is http://[host]:[port]/adminui.

For administrators,
a default super administrator account is created during installation.
You can use this account to log in when document security is first
installed.

Note:

You can also access the web pages from Acrobat
and other client applications. See Acrobat Help or the appropriate
Acrobat Reader DC extensions Help for details.

Type the URL in your browser:

Document security URL: http://[host]:[port]/edc

or Administration
Console URL: http://[host]:[port]/adminui

In the login window, type your user name and password, and
click OK.

In Administration
Console, click Services > document security.

Note:

When working with the web pages, avoid using
the browser buttons, such as the back button, refresh button, and
the back and forward arrows because this action can cause unwanted
data capture and data display problems.

Navigating the web pages

When you log in to the user web pages, you will see links
to the Policies, Documents, and Events user pages.

When you
log in to administration console and navigate to the document security
main page, you may also see one or two additional links, one for
the Configuration page and one for the Invited and Local Users page.
The Invited and Local Users page is displayed only if invited user registration
is enabled.

Use these links to access the various pages, where you create
and manage policies and policy-protected documents.

Click the name of the page; such as click

Go
back to the previous page

Click the navigation
link at the top of the page for the page you want to go back to.

When working with the web pages, avoid using the
browser buttons, such as the back button, refresh button, and the
back and forward arrows, because this action can cause unwanted
data capture and data display problems.

Setting up access to document security
from client applications

Client applications must be set up to connect to document
security to protect documents, open policy-protected documents,
and connect to the document security web pages. See Acrobat Help or
the appropriate RightsManagementExtension Help for information
about configuring the connection within the client application.

Document security is accessed via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
You must install the website’s certificate in your certificate store
so that you can access document security through the client applications.

These instructions are specific to Internet Explorer, but you
can install the certificate by using any supported web browser.
For more information, see the Help for your browser.

Install
the server certificate using Internet Explorer

Open your web browser and type the base URL for document
security in the Address box. For example, type https://[host]:[port].
A Security Alert dialog box appears.

Click View Certificate, and then click Install Certificate
and select the defaults for installation. The certificate needs
to be installed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities.

Close your browser session.

Open another browser window and type the same URL in the
Address box. A Security Alert dialog should not appear. This test
confirms that the certificate is properly installed.

Log out of the web pages

Log out when you finish using the web pages so that you
can safely use your web browser for other purposes. Depending on
how document security is configured, you may need to close your
browser to completely log out.

In the upper-right corner of the page, click Logout.

If a message appears on the Logout page, close your browser
window to completely log out. Otherwise, you can proceed to use
the browser for other purposes.
